After a missed issue, the WP:IND newsletter is back on track to being a regular bimonthly feature. The Indian WikiProject has seen plenty of online and off-line action, both in English as well as other Indian languages, and we now have a bigger, better format that intends to feature content and news from the English as well as other Indian language Wikipedias. | |||
Reaching out to Indians has been the theme of the Indian Wikiproject over the past couple of months, aiming to involve a greater number of Indians in editing both the English and Indian language Wikipedias. To this end, efforts to set up ] have moved into their final stages, and registration of the society is currently pending. An effort is underway to push for "WikiMarathons" at meetups, where attendees will be encouraged to edit the English and/or Indian language Wikipedias. This is intended to popularise Misplaced Pages editing among the general public. In addition, a to post DYK's from the Indian Wikiproject to was created and launched by ]. | |||

Regrettably, the number of Featured Articles has dropped from 63 in June to 58 at the end of October 2010. Several FAs came up for review and were delisted, while ] was saved. Meanwhile, ] appeared on the main page on July 9, 2010. Hearteningly, the number of Good Articles increased from 130 to 136 during the same period, while the number of Featured Lists remained constant at 16. | |||
The ] and the bot itself is expected to be up and running very shortly. This means that ] will again be available, enabling editors to easily keep track of developments in respect of reviews, nominations, deletions etc. | |||
The date change vandal mentioned briefly in the ] made a reappearance when the range block on his IP range expired in September. Consequently the block was extended till September 2011. | |||
In October there was a heated in the India project noticeboard regarding the copyright status of the Indian party symbols. The discussion was triggered by the deletion of ]'s party symbol images by ] as copyright violations. No resolution was reached, partly because of our inability to explain to Hammersoft how election symbols in India differ from party logos. Comments are requested from anyone with a background in Indian copyright law to clarify this issue. | |||

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing Copyright issue with Azizul HuqueI'm afraid that the Azizul Huque article you wrote is a copyright infringement of Banglapedia, since the text is too closely paraphrased. While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation - including both structure and language - are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following:
The article says:
There are other passages that similarly follow too closely. So that it will not constitute a derivative work, this article should be rewritten in the temporary space that is now linked from the article's front. The essay Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing contains some suggestions for rewriting that may help avoid these issues. The article Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches, while about plagiarism rather than copyright concerns, also contains some suggestions for reusing material from sources that may be helpful, beginning under "Avoiding plagiarism". Alternatively, if the material can be verified to be public domain or permission is provided, we can use the original text with proper attribution.
